This retreat was truly nourishing, grounding, and exciting. Gaby and Kristin were perfect hosts. I can't tell you how much I needed to be in nature, in community, and learning new things. We started each day with freshly made chai by the wonderful Alexandra and Czarina, the Ayurvedic chef & her lovely sous chef. Morning yoga was outside each day and I can't tell you how wonderful it was practicing alongside lovely people w/Gaby as our guide. She is patient and thoughtful...a wonderful teacher who possesses a calm open fun vibe. Breakfast was served in the cozy house and each meal brought me closer to deep groundedness within my body. By the time it was over I felt completely nourished and grateful. (and managed to loose a few pounds even though I went back for seconds every delicious meal!) Then we would learn about and experiment with natural dyeing and resist techniques w/Kristin who has a gentle, fun, and informative way of teaching. Her patience with our endless questions was remarkable. She demonstrated and assisted us and cheered us on. I learned about indigo dyeing...something that I've been wanting to learn for years now. I left with confidence that I can do this at home, and we also received a very detailed follow up email with links to refer back to. I cannot WAIT to try some of the things we learned, I'm so inspired! We got a journal in our little welcome bundle of gifts, and I wrote in it every night so I can return to how I felt on this retreat when I feel overworked or stressed. I wanted to make sure to capture the amazingness that was happening all around and inside of me. I can't recommend this more for people who want to learn about plant-based dye, Ayurveda, yoga, and do it in the most beautiful surroundings with lovely people. <3

This retreat was beyond anything I could have hoped for. The setting, the community, the activities we are all wonderful. Gaby's yoga instruction and leadership was exactly what was called for, Kristin was knowledgable and patient with endless questions about natural dye, and Wild Hart Ayruveda provided incredible meals four times a day. I am so grateful for the opportunity to attend. Thank you!

This was a supremely well orchestrated trip led by two very kind, warm and knowledgeable facilitators, Gaby and Kristin. Each activity and space between was designed with intention. The yoga was inviting, the food was incredibly nourishing, the natural dye workshop was super cool, and the Yuba was the cherry on top - perfectly magical.

This retreat was a perfect marriage of yoga, Ayurveda, and natural dye techniques. It stoked my creativity, fueled my soul, and nourished my body. You could feel the passion and love that was poured into every minute of it by Gaby, Kristin, and Tiffany. Anyone looking to create a little bit more space from themselves in their life should attend the Alchemy of Earth Retreat. Its the perfect way to reconnect what is important for body, mind, and soul.

It was a weekend of bliss, creative discovery and soulful food shared among a group of positive, like-minded people. There are many moments I will remember…the reveal of my first Indigo dye fabric, the hearty breakfast after an energizing morning Vinyasa, the hike to the Yuba River and meditating there, warm conversations after evening meals and nourishing sleep at the day’s end, surrounded by the peaceful sound of nature. The perfect escape from the busyness of life.

I loved the intentionally designed meals and 2 a day yoga sessions. Kristen's style of teaching during the natural dye session was clutch. She really allows you to explore your creative freedom in a loving supportive way. Gaby's knowledge of ayurveda was/is bananas I felt like we could almost have done a full session of just questions and answers. The workshops aside the whole retreat had an air of discovery and healing about it. Rarely have I felt such supportive energy, the attention that they gave to you in each workshop, their appreciation of your be'ing even when you did it badly was extraordinary. In that sort of environment transformation can't help but manifest itself. The question anyone interested in an Alchemy of Earth Retreat is: are you ready to transform?
